Ruby on Rails...
I think a larger part of the problem is to do with PHP not having strict enough standard on _how_ to code well with it. Thankfully the default php.ini is a lot better than it was a few years ago. Besides that, the next thing a programmer can do is t…

XML Character encoding detection using PHP4
I'm not 100% up to scratch with utf (although I really should be), but out of curiosity (and a hunch), what happens if you just echo the utf-16 input straight back to the user? Is it displayed the same? (You might have to set some encoding head…

Ruby on Rails...
Ahh, I like this article. It doesn't directly put Ruby down but instead indirectly suggests to use it to build on your knowledge on good design patterns. Thankfully I've skipped the two years of redesigning everything in Ruby and gone f…

gurugeek said what I said in my previous post, just be a little more frank. You even say yourself: “Confidentiality would be between myself and whom ever else agreed to it.” You don’t plan to help out the programmer at all from what I understand.…

By saying it like you suggested, the only thing you'll be bringing into the project is this "killer idea," but yet you still retain absolute control over it all. I'd be feeling a bit dubious about all of this from the start. I…

Marathon Prize: Have your say ?
I... pod? Do we have to bow down to consumerism and... blahbleh. How about a i* prize up to x amount of money? Cash prizes should be a no-no.

PHP verses Classic ASP and ASP.Net
It's been a while since I've read this as I've just moved house (back into uni accommodation) with no Internet. Well, I think I did take offence at something Orion said as it felt like he was just advocating ASP and I think I settl…

PEAR Rocks ( when its done right )
I've never really been sold the idea of having classes and function and oh noes too much in PHP to cover up SQL queries. Tables are static entities so I've always used PHPMyAdmin to point and click my database design (scribbled on 1-30 pie…

xss script 4 u
So a function that removes tags from your user input? What about the onclick, onsubmit etc of elements? If you take this approach, you’ll most likely find so many problems. Then, what happens in a forum like this? I want to display my code for oth…

What do you think about PHP 6 ?
Haha. I truly do mean it. I'm renting one for a project of mine (however that got delayed...) so it's generating no income whatsoever. If I was aiming to make a profit, I wouldn't be handing out a shell for such a low price. Any profi…

PHP verses Classic ASP and ASP.Net
I don't think popularity should play that big a role into why you choose a language. A language should meet your needs. PHP is a good first language for people because it's syntax is simple, easily compared to other languages, variables do…

What do you think about PHP 6 ?
I could also host a few people's sites. However this wouldn't be free as I'm trying to meet server costs. It would include a shell account, adequate disk space and traffic. Adequate meaning, to meet your needs and not hamper others. (…

You didn't seem to show an understanding of what ASP does, so I pointed you in the direction of the Wikipiedia article - just rather aggressively :face-plain: People finding exploits are good and people attempting to find them are even bette…

Wow. Boy-oh-boy did I just jump straight into a pro-ASP.Net ready-to-flame thread. Or whatever they're called. I'm going to come straight out with this, your arguments all seem to be along the lines of "I've had bad experience…

PHP verses Classic ASP and ASP.Net
You disregard C++ as nonsense because PHP and ASP give the developer more control. This seems, bizarre at best? Surely with C++ you'd have a lot more control in developing larger applications on the whole (we're not talking about some uplo…

I'm not very clued up with ASP but your sentence has left me wondering, why would you need ASP if it supports other languages like Perl? I mean, why not just write the page in Perl and then you don't have this ASP thing surrounding it, eng…

PHP Marathon Idea
I don't think deciding who the winners are is a problem, just so long as the entrants have an idea as to what's specifically being judged. With 50% of the users deciding the winners it can quite easily become a popularity contest. Maybe yo…

Prizes look - awesome! How many people are you expecting to enter? I think that you'd probably get a better turn out if it was more specific but still with a fairly large scope. I'd also worry about "Best code decided by the jury.…
